With ice in her veins, Sabrina Ionescu brought the New York Liberty within one game of a WNBA championship.
Game 3 was like Game 1 of the Liberty-Lynx series, but in reverse. The Lynx were up HUGE — as much as 16 points — when New York kept plugging away. Foul trouble, an Alanna Smith injury, and a massive night from Breanna Stewart (30 points, 11 rebounds, four blocks) allowed the Liberty to withstand several pushes from Minnesota and eventually overcome it late in the fourth quarter.
With the game on the line, Sabrina Ionescu launched a COLOSSAL shot from downtown New York to break the hearts of every Lynx fan everywhere. Ionescu was quiet most of the night, but she NAILED the bucket of her life — a logo 3-point heave — when the Liberty needed it most. I mean, you need to see this shot to believe it. UNREAL.
